What kind of coral you want to put in?

 

[sm fragman]

a couple of sps and mostley lps and ric and zoos

 

[anguswu]

What is the depth?

 

[sm fragman]

aquapod is 17.5 and the cadlight is 14.5

I might be new to the hobby, but I just got an aquapod - all my research drove me to this one. The setup is good, the filtration is really good for these small systems. Sounds like you might want metal halide lighting.
Let's make it more confusing - the nanocube was a close second.

I wish you good luck as I know I need it myself.

 

[anguswu]

I will suggest you a metal halide lighting. 150W with two actinic blue T5 is best.

thanks you everyone for the help ,,i know the aquapod is the better buy just as good as the cadlight but just look at the cadlight the set up is sweet

 

[jewtball]

the cadlight is a better set-up and it looks so much better too.

 

[sm fragman]

yes jewtball you are right it looks much better then the aquapod ,,not heat from the t5 and i would be able to keep anything under it ,,i like the price of the aquapod wqiht the 150hqi at $299 ,but then i will have to do some mods to do the fug and stronger pump and what not ,,,,i will not have to do this wiht the cadlight 22 gallon and i will have more surfice area wiht the cadlight ,,so i am leaning tord the cadlight at this piont at $369 and not have to mod anything that is a sweat setup

 

[elmatth1]

i've been trying to decide between the cadlights 22g and 25g. both look like nice setups. Haven't read much bad about any of the cadlights so far.

Hey sm fragman and elmatth1,

I just went through the same thing and I am going to opt for the Cadlights because of the look and the refugium. The lights for the 25 are killer too.......Good luck gang

 

[sm fragman]

yep right on bud ,,if i go wiht the cadlight i would get the t5 lighting ,,trying to save money on the electric bill do to going back to school ,,,i like the fact that you do not need to mod anything wiht the cad light

 

[1pix4c]

can you hook a protien skimmer on the cadlight

 

[sm fragman]

yes you can and wihtout having to mod anything
